Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Zovo Secret Santa every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

redraw
redraw_secret_santa
Use this when the organizer wants a new random draw for an existing Secret Santa, for example because they saw an assignment by mistake. Takes the organizer link. Works only while nobody has opened a private link; it replaces the old draw with the same rules, keeps the same private links and keeps wishlists. Does not add or remove people (make a new Secret Santa for that).
secret
create_secret_santa
Use this when the user wants to draw names for a Secret Santa or holiday gift exchange and give each person a private link. Takes 3 to 60 names, optional couples or households who must not draw each other, one-way exclusions (for example last year's match), a budget, an exchange date and a note. Publishes a hosted page: each private link shows one person whom they buy for, the budget, the date and the match's wishlist, and each person can add their own wishlist. Returns one private link per person and an organizer link; the draw itself is not returned. Explains why when no draw is possible. Does not send emails or texts. Do not use for White Elephant games or for picking one winner.
show
show_secret_santa_status
Use this when the organizer asks who has opened their Secret Santa link, who added a wishlist, or wants the private links again. Takes the organizer link (it contains /m/). Returns each person's link, whether and when it was first opened, and whether they added a wishlist. Does not return who buys for whom. Does not change anything. Does not work with a person's private link.

Zovo Secret Santa — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Zovo Secret Santa do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_secret_santa, redraw_secret_santa, show_secret_santa_status. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Zovo Secret Santa working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 241 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Zovo Secret Santa?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Zovo Secret Santa need an API key?
No. Zovo Secret Santa completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Zovo Secret Santa?
It answers our handshake in 241 ms on average, which is faster than 56% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
